Sir FREDERICK STEWART (Parramatta)
. - With the general purpose of the amendment I am in agreement, but in my opinion a proviso should be added in order to vest in the Commissioner the right to disallow pensions in cases in which a claimant is obviously unworthy. I do not suggest that every guilty party to divorce proceedings is unworthy of social benefits, but it needs little imagination to visualize a person who is entirely undeserving of a pension.

Mr Blackburn
- Does not paragraph b of sub-clause 1 of clause 14 meet that position?

The CHAIRMAN
- This is a matter which could more appropriately be discussed when clause 14 is before the committee.
